The links between neurons are called synapses. What exactly is a synapse, and what happens there? It’s basically a connection: one cell talking to another. A brain cell, or a neuron, has a large main body, with small strands sticking out.If you enjoyed this post, please give it a ❤️ and check out @sciencefunn for more science and daily facts.

Neurons connect with each other 🧠 A neuron sends out its axon to reach another neuron’s dendrites or cell body. When they meet at a synapse, the first neuron releases small chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. These chemicals cross a tiny gap and attach to the next neuron. This tells the second neuron whether to send a signal or stay quiet. This basic exchange is how your brain communicates every moment. With learning and practice, these connections can grow stronger or change. This ab
